A salesman told me it's not a good idea to run NTSC in 4:3 mode (black bars left and right) as a default when watching TV on a 16:9 screen due to uneven phosphor burnout. First question: how hard is it really on a good CRT if you do this for 4 hours per day? I presently do the opposite for movies (black bars top and bottom on a 4:3 screen) but that's less often.Next question: I have a 32" Sony Wega that can do a "raster squeeze", or 16:9 "enhanced mode" for DVDs. Can I expect a real improvement by going to a digital TV with DVD? Should I forget it and stay put until HDTV really starts up? I don't have an opinion on this yet because I don't know what I'll be getting into.
Thanks in advance.
Kurt
